Whilst it may look like it could be a DJ bike, it's not really it's been designed as a 4 crosser, meaning multi-gears and a moderately long 420mm chain stay are what it's prefered use. I use it for city commutes, urban fun, hard pack dry trails with a longer seat post and at the local BMX track, works well. with replaceable dropouts it would be neat if Nukeproof could supply shorter dropouts, say making the chainstay 410 or 405mm as an option to try out.
